Brazilian and U.S. Marines of Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force 24 (SPMAGTF-24) participate in Exercise Partnership of the Americas (POA) 2009, which is being simultaneously executed with UNITAS Gold. The SPMAGTF-24 Marines conducted an amphibious assault landing rehearsal deployed from a U.S. Naval Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) which hovered onto the beach of Naval Station Mayport allowing them safe and swift passage from ship-to-shore.
